As a video editor of the NTD Taste Life team member, I will also ask to go outdoors to shoot street fair food footages. So I am used to carrying the camera with me, with the extra batteries and the memory cards, standby ready to shoot anytime if occasion required. Last time I went was at the end of September, to a street fair located on Canal Street. The street fair was very lively and cheerful. By the same time shooting the food videos I also got a chance to taste those delicious foods. I really enjoyed the street fair shooting.
NTD Taste Life is a department that publishes food videos on Facebook to make money. There are multiple sources of food videos. We have resources of making our original food cooking videos and shooting on the streets or restaurants to get more diverse types of food clips. on the other hand, some are also forwarded from other pages or youtube channels. After obtaining the permission from the original vlog poster, the post-editing team will help to add the watermarks of the original channel’s name on the video screen. When audiences want to see more similar videos, they can find the channel of the original vlog based on the name on the screen. The amount of the viewers watched ads on our page benefits to our profit, and at the same time, we also help YouTubers promote their videos. Everybody benefits from what we are doing, everybody’s happy. 🙂
NTD Taste Life is a department that mainly makes profits on Facebook by posting original food relevant videos and cooking tutorials. The times are changing, and the rules of online social media are changing too. The videos in the past were made into more than a minute and a half, but now all of the video durations need to be change and edit to more than three minutes. By inserting ads in the middle of the video to get income has only worked when the duration of the video is more than three minutes long. I have been thinking about how to make adjustments to the new videos that are going to be produced. A production stage takes about four to five hours to shoot the footages. When the video editor got the footage from the producer, the footages were not processed or being used at all, and the duration of the footage was the same as the filming. I am the video editor on the team and it is my duty to polish the raw footage into presentable videos. In this production process, I mastered the skills of adjusting the duration of the videos. I used to adjust the video to 200% speed, but now I will choose 150% or 120%, and make different adjustments according to the requirements of pictures of the screen.
